This series contains examples of the following tropes: Angel and the Ape, Stanley and His Monster and the Inferior Five.Quick Draw McGraw, Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long Coyote.The Spectre, Deadman, and The Phantom Stranger (among others).The Teen Titans (in their Teen Titans Go! incarnation).In the digital release, the comics were split in half, making a total of one hundred issues and having the first part of the story end on a cliffhanger before resolving it in the second part.Ī total of 50 print issues (100 digital issues) were created before the series ended. The comic is set up in single-issue stories where the gang of Mystery Incorporated teams up with a special guest star(s) (usually either a character from Hanna-Barbera's non-Scooby-Doo shows or The DCU) to combat whatever evil force is threatening the locale, making it a Spiritual Sequel to The New Scooby-Doo Movies. Scooby-Doo Team-Up is serving a great purpose by introducing a new generation of readers to some of the less familiar inhabitants of the DCU, and for that alone it’s a worthy read.ĭisclaimer: GeekDad received this comic for review purposes.A comic book series in the Scooby-Doo franchise published by DC Comics that ran from 2013 to 2019. But the issue is packed with Legion references and easter eggs, and as there’s no actual Legion comic on the stands and hasn’t been since roughly 2014, this book serves to scratch that itch nicely. If there’s one problem with this issue, it’s that if you look closely at the “Ghost”, it’s fairly obvious who the culprit is – there’s only one Legion villain who can create green-colored projections. Who remembered that Ferro Lad had a twin brother? He’s naturally suspect #1, but he actually has an airtight alibi and no resentment over his brother’s death. The most iconic Legionnaire to fall in battle, his sacrifice remains an open wound for the Legion, so it adds some major emotional context to the issue.įisch, as always, does his research, and the plot points in this issue draw directly from the Legion’s history.

There’s a ghost as usual, but unlike the usual ghost or monster, this one is actually a dead person, or so it seems – Ferro Lad or his ghost. Sholly Fisch’s Scooby-Doo Team-Up is always at its best when it’s exploring odd corners of the DCU through the eyes of our favorite mystery-seekers, and this issue takes them to the far future for a team-up with the Legion of Super-Heroes.Ī surprising number of issues in this series seem to open with the gang getting kidnapped by some random heroes in need of their help, and as usual Shaggy and Scooby spend most of their time getting freaked out.
